People don't have any more money to spend just because stores are open
all the time. It is just a matter of retail competition. We resisted
Sunday opening for a long time but we are close to the border. When they
had Sunday shopping in NY, people flocked over there on weekends. Local
retailers realized that they were losing a lot of sales to the US.

My suggestion is to open up everything on Sundays. We have rejected the
common day off for everyone else, so let's do it for everyone. All
banks, government offices, businesses, constructions and schools should
be open. No one can argue that they need a common day off because we
have already rejected for retail.
